France from Chateau Pavie Macquin

Albert Macquin, the founder, bought part of Ferdinand Bouffard's large estate to form Chateau Pavie Macquin. Macquin would later become a pioneering viticulturist, grafting vines at Pavie Macquin on to American rootstock in order to create vines resistant to phyloxera. Descendants of Albert Macquin still own the estate and have raised its quality to be promoted to a Premier Crand Cru Classe estate in 2006.
